There may be times whenwe feel like our connection to the universe is closed. Maybe things don't seem to be going well in our day or our lives overall, or we may feel out of our element.

The truth is Source is always there for us. We know we create our experience with our thoughts and reactions and this is another way we need to make a conscious decision about how we want to experience life.

We can think of connecting to Source as getting some fresh air. We are always breathing and the air is always around us, surrounding us, moving through us. But we may need to step outside of where we are in the moment - physically, mentally, or emotionally - and make the conscious choice to take a deep breath and move deeper into Source to feel the presence of air coming in and going out.

Whether this means stepping outside physically or merely shifting our thoughts and awareness, we recognize it is only our perception that changes; the air remains the same.

It is just as easy to reconnect with the Source. Using the same technique as a breath of fresh air, a deep breath can bring us back to our center and feel being the beloved. As we inhale, we fill our bodies with the oxygen needed to replenish our most basic physical needs, allowing the air to circulate within us. Exhaling, we release the stale, the used, the potentially toxic air, removing any blocks that may keep us from going deeper into the stillness that lies at our center where we connect to the Source.

Feeling closed off doesn't need to be a negative experience. When we become conscious of Source we can think of the wholeness of a closed circuit opening, which allows electricity to connect and flow properly.

Our bodies work the same way, and when we make that connection in our minds, it can bring us back to the connection we seek.
